Hi folks, I'm using Fedora Core 5 - 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5, and am using MythTV0.19.
I have a Hauppauge 350 card I just bought, and a Geforce 4400 Ti in my
computer. I am trying to use the Hauppauge card for tv in and tv out. It was
originally capturing fine, but now it's not. I'm not sure what i've changed
that has caused it to start failing in capturing.
The tv out works fine with X, but when I go to watch live tv in MythTV the
screen goes black and freezes the whole machine. All I can do is reboot.
The computer also freezes if I try and do a live video capture with the command:
cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg
I have tried this using /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p with every single number from 0 to
5 with the same results.
I have used Jarod's guide and have done lots of searching but have not been
able to figure out why this is happening.
I have noticed that one of the modules isn't loading:
"unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg" and i've done some searches on
archives and found that there should be a copy of this file in /lib/firmware
and then symlinks everywhere else. I have done this and ensured that there are
full rights to the file but it still won't load the module.
I tossed the card in my Windows XP computer to ensure it wasn't hardware
related, and the card works perfectly fine. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Below is a copy of my IVTV info from dmesg.
